Discovering he had been kicked out, Zhou Bai’s face flickered with annoyance.
"What’s the big idea, looking down on me like that?"
Right when Zhou Bai was kicked out, Christina couldn’t help but ask curiously, "How did it go? Did you learn the Twilight Taoist Skill?"
Zhou Bai chuckled and briefly described what had happened inside before concluding, "That ’Sword Return to Origin’ is ridiculously easy. I reckon a few more trips and I’ll have it down pat. Plus, my Laziness treatment can actually heal mental issues. I’ll be able to use this Twilight Taoist Skill indefinitely in the future."
Christina said with a mix of envy and jealousy, "Ah, when will I get to try out what it’s like to cheat like that? That would be so great."
Zhou Bai, "I’d like that too, but haven’t we researched this already? It can’t be shared with others."
Christina, utterly disappointed, "Sigh, can’t cheat, can’t cultivate Twilight Taoist Skill. It’s so boring."
Zhou Bai, "Don’t worry, once I’ve mastered the five Supreme Divine Powers, I’ll teach them to you."
Christina, "Aren’t they only teachable in dreams?"
Zhou Bai, "But wasn’t that passed to me by the senior elder? Since she mastered the five Divine Skills and could pass them on to someone else, I’ll definitely be able to do the same after I’ve mastered them."
Amid their light-hearted banter, Zhou Bai regained control of his body and stood up.
Ying Hui walked up with a look of concern, "How’s it going?"
Zhou Bai explained what had happened and concluded, "I chose the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword and have started cultivating the first Twilight Taoist Skill, ’Sword Return to Origin.’"
Ying Hui said with satisfaction, "Good, good, good, it’s great you passed the trial. Cultivating Twilight Taoist Skill is dangerous, so you must be careful. Take it slowly, don’t rush. With your talent, I believe a steady approach will surely bring good results."
Ying Hui truly believed in Zhou Bai’s talent.
After all, reaching the first realm in just half a year, possessing defensive power and speed that surpassed the divine chart, and defeating a third-realm opponent with first-realm strength had convinced him to recommend Zhou Bai to start cultivating Twilight Taoist Skill early. He was filled with expectations for Zhou Bai and felt there might be a sliver of hope that Zhou Bai could master a Supreme Divine Power.
When Ying Hui learned that Zhou Bai had chosen the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, he reminded, "You have the Sword figure; no wonder you chose Tianhe Star Explosion Sword. This series of Twilight Taoist Skills, I know someone who cultivates them, and the first one, ’Sword Return to Origin,’ is foundational. You must learn it well and solidify your base.
I’ve heard that if you learn more swordsmanship, the results will be even better. You might want to try that."
Zhou Bai nodded non-stop, following Ying Hui out while listening to his teachings.
But suddenly, Ying Hui’s tone changed, "Zhou Bai, I heard you’ve been tight on cash? Some students have mentioned that you’ve been borrowing a lot of credits recently."
Zhou Bai’s gaze sharpened, and he internally cursed, ’Some student, my foot. It must’ve been that tattletale Zheng Wentian.’
Zhou Bai quickly shook his head, "Teacher, don’t believe such nonsense. I’m doing fine."
"Really?" Ying Hui said, "If you have any problems, any difficulties, you should talk to your teacher. Don’t tough it out alone."
Zhou Bai, "Teacher, I’m really okay. That student is just spreading rumors."
"If there’s no problem, then that’s best," said Ying Hui. "By the way, Zhou Bai, come with me for a urine test."
Zhou Bai, "Huh?"

"Don’t be nervous; it’s just an ordinary urine test. A casual check-up to make sure your body is fine, especially since you just began cultivating Twilight Taoist Skill. It’s quite normal, quite reasonable to have a urine test."
Ying Hui continued, "Right, are you sure you don’t need any credit points? If you’re short on points, your teacher here could lend you some."
’This is clearly a test.’ Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "I really don’t need any credit points. Oh, teacher, when can I come next time to practice the Twilight Taoist Skill?"
Zhou Bai thought that although he learned slowly, he could use Laziness treatment, so he should take advantage of that, and come to practice more often.
However, Ying Hui shook his head: "Don’t underestimate the danger of the Twilight Taoist Skill. You can come at most once a week from now on, practicing once and then resting for a week. That’s safer."
Zhou Bai: "Teacher, I really think I can come more often. I feel it doesn’t affect me much, I feel pretty good."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how many talented cultivators have had problems when practicing the Twilight Taoist Skill in this past century? You can’t be greedy and rash in cultivation, have you forgotten?"
After another round of scolding from Ying Hui and Zhou Bai’s defense, it only led to more lectures from Ying Hui. Plus, Zhou Bai couldn’t mention the Laziness treatment, so he could only let it go for the time being.
In the following days, Zhou Bai converted all the credit points he had into laziness values in batches.
Among them, he planned to exchange 2000 of the 2400 credit points he received this month, estimating that he could get more than forty thousand laziness values.
In addition, Fat Sheep No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 intermittently sheared over 10,000 more laziness values for Zhou Bai.
Although No. 1 had tattled to the teacher, Zhou Bai didn’t plan on stopping.
Especially after knowing that Xiao Pei and her group were all Heavenly Demon spies, Zhou Bai felt greater pressure.
...
Outside Zheng Wentian’s villa, Qian Wangsun looked in the direction of the villa, his face full of confidence.
Qian Wangsun stroked his chin, thinking to himself, ’Based on my investigation these past few days, Zheng Wentian has been treating Zhou Bai to extravagant food worth one or two hundred credit points nearly every day.’
’Hmph, to think that Zheng Wentian, who seemed so proud and unable to handle defeat during his fight with Zhou Bai, is actually so amiable in private. Generous and charitable, he can be considered a paragon among celestial beings.’
’If he can invite Zhou Bai, who won against him and stepped on his face, why can’t he invite me, Qian Wangsun.’
As Qian Wangsun was thinking this, he saw Zheng Wentian with a cold face walking out of the villa.
Qian Wangsun walked up with a smile and greeted, "Hello, Zheng Wentian, what a coincidence, you’re heading out too?"
Hearing the voice, Zheng Wentian couldn’t help but shiver at first, quickly looking around for Zhou Bai’s figure.
After seeing Qian Wangsun, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and managed a forced smile, saying, "Hello, classmate, is there something you need?"
Qian Wangsun sidled over with a grin, "Well, actually, I’ve been a bit strapped for cash recently, could I borrow some credit points..."
Zheng Wentian’s eyes widened in fury as he stared at Qian Wangsun, and then he exploded, "I have no credit points to lend you! I’m lending to nobody!!" With that, he struck out with a palm, and his Nine Yang Holy Power swept towards Qian Wangsun.
Bang! Qian Wangsun tried his mightiest to retreat, dodge, and defend, but was still struck hard enough to draw blood.
"Damn it, if you don’t want to lend, then don’t, but why hit me?"
He cried out in pain, fell to the ground, and was about to quickly flee, dodging the crazed Zheng Wentian’s subsequent attacks, when he saw Zheng Wentian slam his foot on the ground.
His Nine Yang Holy Power erupted with full force, and like a red comet, he shot off into the distance, yelling:
"I won’t lend! I won’t lend! Hahaha! The card isn’t even on me!!!"
"None of you even think about asking me for a loan!"
